“SPIDAcalc has given REMC more confidence in our pole designs. The user interface is top-notch, easy to use, and it saves our stakers time and effort when evaluating the designs. SPIDA has allowed us to “right-size” the equipment we design for our poles, which in turn saves the co-op money.”
Technical Capabilities
Analysis
- Backed by a powerful finite element analysis engine, SPIDAcalc offers both traditional linear analysis and advanced geometric non-linear analysis
- Simulate pole damage and decay by modeling the results of your intrusive inspections
- Scalable cloud-based analysis service to handle the analysis of one pole or 10,000 poles in a matter of minutes
- Trusted calculations verified by a third party
Connectivity
- Utilize Map View to build out a connected system of poles simultaneously, greatly reducing the time required to model
- Bulk-move options allow you to easily reposition for your relocated projects
- String a new communication bundle or model the effects of over lashing
- Evaluate reconductor jobs by replacing your primary wires across and entire pole line with the click of a button
Ease of Use
- Intuitive drag-and-drop functionality
- Quickly create pole designs by using standard or user-defined assemblies
- Configurable workspaces, featuring interactive 2D and 3D views, that can be customized to fit your project’s needs
- Interactive Analysis Results make it easy to interpret results and streamline your reporting needs
- Create a wide array of communication bundles within a project, or pre-built into a client library
Profile View
- Evaluate above ground and between clearances along the span in Profile View
- Terrain Modeling
- Utilize nonlinear wire tension calculations to model conductor state change at various weather conditions, including conductor creep
- Generate span profile reports across your entire project
Advisor
- Troubleshoot non-compliant poles by iterating through routines to determine the ideal replacement
- Optimize pole class and anchor leads based on your specific design needs
- Streamline routines and eliminate the need to guess and check
